Your safety is of utmost importance to us – that’s why we have turnstiles at our main entrances to the site (Block B and D Foyer), these are also fob activated for extra security. This allows you to get in and out of the building safely.
Our turnstiles are there to help keep you safe and secure during your stay with us.
If you are arriving to site and you have large items, ie: bikes, shopping, suitcases etc, then you can use the main door in front of the office during office hours. If you need access out of hours, then you can contact our security team who will be able to let you in.
Your fob could be one of your most important possessions while at CODE! It will give you access to the gym (after you've completed your induction in the office) and the communal rooms.
You will also receive a key for your post box and a key to your room.
If you do have the misfortune of losing your keys, we will ask you to pay:
If you lose a key with the room number, you will have to pay for the lock to be changed, which is £200.
So you may find it useful to have an extra large keyring or safe place you always put your keys. Be careful, when carrying them loose in bags or pockets
Please try to keep your keys with you at all times, but if you do accidentally leave them at a friend's house, or lock yourself out of you room don't worry. Simply contact us and we'll let you into your studio. We will need to ask for ID to make sure it's you.
It's very easy to reach the gates/doors at the same time as another student. And while it might feel rude to close the door behind you, that's the best way to stay safe.
Not everyone will have access to the site, even if they look like a fellow student. So please don't allow other people to follow you (known as tailgating) onto the site.
Save Security's number to your mobile - you'll be emailed it and it's on posters near the lifts.
